Korean Braille

Hey Vanisaac! A belated welcome back.

With Korean Braille, can you tell if the 'syllable' abbreviations/contractions can take an initial or final consonant? That is, would the syllable sam be written sa-m, or is sa reserved for an entire syllable only, so sam would have to be spelled out s-a-m? I assume it's sa-m, but before I reword our article [and wiktionary] I wanted to verify.

Okay, I've reviewed your edits as you said above, so now I can complain. My complaint is that I haven't run into you for a while. — kwami (talk) 02:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah, yeong has a fn saying that it's "eong after s, ss, j, jj, and ch," so I think that clinches it. — kwami (talk) 04:00, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Important: Please update user script installation

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew

Edit to my user talk caused a ping

Your edit to my user page caused a notification for me. Not ideal. If you are doing multiple edits (>5) I think an account with a bot flag may avoid this. Commander Keane (talk) 02:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I've held off on the fix until I get feedback at WP:AWBREQ. VanIsaac, GHTV ^contr_about 02:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for mass message fix

Thanks for fixing the link in the mass message sent to around 600 users (last I noted) by a third party. I not infrequently see careless messages being sent out, and I think users who do that should have their mass-mailing privileges suspended on a sliding scale, depending on some function of seriousness level, number of destination pages, and mail frequency. This one was annoying, but benign (a link that went nowhere, kind of negating the whole point of the message) and 600 means it took some time on your part to fix it. I don't know how often that user issues mass mailings, but if it's one every month, then maybe they should be suspended for two or three months.

On the other hand, the jokers that send out messages that break the rest of the Talk page they are found on by unbalanced expressions, invalid markup, or other problems that could've been discovered simply by passing it through an HTML parser first, should have their privileges removed indefinitely, with no prejudice to regaining them after an appeal similar to a block appeal.

I cannot abide the cavalier attitude of a few mass mail users, who apparently due to the lack of any inconvenience to them continue spraying out junk into the ether. Time to make them feel the pain. (I am normally an easy-going editor and I accept all sorts of mistakes by all and sundry with equanimity, but not this one; maybe because it is so easily avoided, and most mass mail problems represent a lack of care for the outcome, and cluelessness or contempt for the time of other editors who clean up after them.) Thanks for your effort repairing this. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 05:02, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
